One of North American’s biggest rock festivals is surprisingly not in the U.S.

The 8th annual Amnesia Rock Fest will take place June 14-15 in Montebello, Quebec, Canada. Adjacent to the Ottawa River, the sleepy farming village boasts a whopping population of around 900, which is trumped only by the number of cows.

Formerly known as Outaouais Rock, Amnesia Rockfest‘s two-day event featuring more than 150 bands was founded in 2005 by Alex Martel, a seventeen year-old music fan. According to a release, Amnesia Rock Fest is regarded as the biggest rock festival in Quebec.

Alternative festivities are said to include buskers and fire-spitters who will bring a carnival-theme.

Like most large-scale festivals, Amnesia offers one-day and weekend passes as well as camping packages. Weekend passes are priced competitively at $79.00.
